Low CBC counts with sjogren's syndrome...is this normal?

This Article

Every time I have a CBC done my levels are always low. My dr. said my lows are normal for me and to not worry about it. I am also anemic. Low platelet count, low white blood cell count, low red blood cell count.

Hi , I as well have had, and continue to see my white blood and red blood counts drop every time they are taken, and this last one a few weeks ago I called the dr. to ask when does this become something to worry about, he said this is pretty routine with sjogrens and that I shouldnt worry yet. Last wbc was 3.2 and my rbc was 3.7 it has went down a little more each time so...J.R.

Do you have any conditions that your doctor was testing for?
What information did your doctor discuss with you, regarding these results?

Lab results may be high, and there may/may not be any significance; it is the context that matters most with blood test results. There are many different ranges of what is considered normal, high or low. Did your doctor talk with you about him/her being CONCERNED because your results are ABNORMALLY high? What was suggested as your next steps?
